Today, I’m revealing to the world what a horrible person I am... or at least used to be.
I confess that I have envied others so much in the past, including good friends of mine. And I was a total jerk about it.
I have envied other people’s wealth. I envied other people’s romantic relationships. I have envied other people’s social skills and social life.
Often we express our envious feelings as feelings of annoyance… or judgement of other people… or false pity of other people.
In order to improve your life, you must change your focus.
In other words… You need to admire them, not envy them!
I decided that I would literally admire these people that I was once so envious of previously. Another way of saying it: Don’t hate, congratulate.
I decided that if I saw my friends and peers get into relationships, then they would become my role models, not my enemies.
I could develop some super dynamic personality traits of my own. I decided to figure out how to be more social in my own way.
A few life principles to remember when it comes to envy:
1) What you want for yourself, you must want for others.
2) Often you can envy people without even knowing what you envy about them. (indirect envy)
3) Sometimes you have to ask yourself: Do you really want what they have? If not, then why be envious?
Changing your focus from envy to admiration yields amazing results. What you put out into the Universe, you get back. If you focus on positive feelings… such as admiration… The Universe will show you the path towards even more positive feelings and those positive feelings will lead to more positive outcomes in your life in many ways.
According to St. Thomas Aquinas, the struggle aroused by envy has three stages: during the first stage, the envious person attempts to lower another's reputation; in the middle stage, the envious person receives either "joy at another's misfortune" (if he succeeds in defaming the other person) or "grief at another's prosperity" (if he fails); and the third stage is hatred because "sorrow causes hatred".
